Victorinox Swiss Army Men's 241083 Garrison Collection Brown Leather Watch

I sent this watch to my father for his birthday last year. I've seen him several times since then, and he loves this watch, and I'm impressed, too. I picked it because it had a large very legible face, and in person it is even more legible than it looked on the web. The watch is also a bit larger than I thought it was (some mfrs measure the entire case, others just the face), but the size is fine, no problem with it. It's a very handsome watch in person, too, and my father delightedly reports that it keeps excellent time, too. Definitely recommended.By the way, my dad also loves joking that the only thing about the watch that he doesn't love, is that he's concerned that if Switzerland ever goes to war, he might be called up for service. :-)

This watch was a steal for a Victorinox product, but the strap it came with was no good. First off it's a chocolate brown strap on a black dial watch which doesn't really match all that well. Also, it didn't smell like leather, more of a synthetic chemical odor. Didn't matter much because I quickly swapped the strap out for a 20mm military green Nato strap and now I have a great casual watch that I can wear all summer. End of the day, the whole thing cost me under $90.

Worn this watch for two weeks straight now and I think its a wonderful watch. Time keeping isexcellent (it's lost two seconds in two weeks compared to my casio atomic). Easy to read dial (I hatea dial cluttered up or numerals that aren't easily reconized at a glance). Sized right at 40mm (Ihave small wrists but I like large watches, this is a great size for me). Pretty good lum. (after 6hrs of darkness you can still pick up the time, though it will take a bit of focus) didn't expectmuch for this price point.Only dislike was the band, I prefer a nylon type strap. Found a good compromise with a replacementtimex expedition strap.

If you like stylish simplicity this is a nice watch. Easy to see in both the light and dark. The 24 hour time inner dial is a plus if you travel a lot. The only negative is that the band was not well constructed. The band end restraining loops deteriorated quickly and the band itself came apart in less than a year.

This watch looks great, but it's not water resistant as claimed. The first time I took it with me into the pool, it got moisture inside, and stopped working. The retailer, Jomashop, refused to honor the warranty and now the watch is dead. Don't buy this watch if you need a water resistant watch and don't buy from Jomashop if you have any concerns about trying to make a warranty claim.

I liked the simplicity of the watch and the ease in viewing the dial. The band, while nice in appearance, seems to be made of very thin leather and is difficult to fasten.

I at one time gave a nice interview, as my "Swiss Army Garrison Watch" arrived quickly, in perfect condition. But the minute I needed the watch repaired, It was a maze between "Amazon TV" "Jomashop" as to should have to repair the "watch".Jomashop, where I bought the watch, as a "Amazon linked seller" stated they only had to honor a (30 day) warranty period, so Amazon helped by telling me to mail to one the "Authorized Repair Service" they have contracted, with no postage, as they honor a (30-day) warranty period, despite is give no number of days in terms of repair coverage.In fact the Technical Representative at (Amazon.com) stated they are no longer a linked Vendor to (Amazon.com) but in closing, the items at (Jomashop) are shipped, good deals, if you never have to have your "timepiece".

This is a great understated watch. Really like the look and style. I slightly better band (more like in the picture) and it would have got 5 stars.
